HP 16510B, 16500A manual Complemented Patterns

Note

If two multi-pod state analyzers are on, the qualifier pop-up menu will show that only four pattern recognizers are available to each analyzer. Pattern recognizers a-d and the range recognizer go with the first analyzer created, and pattern recognizers e-h go with the second analyzer. In the Full Qualifier Specification pop-up, there will be only one OR gate and one set of pattern recognizers.

With this Full Qualifier Specification pop-up, you specify a logical combination of patterns or a range as the qualifier. The pattern recognizers are always partitioned into the groups of four as shown. Only one operator is allowed between the patterns in a group. Patterns in uncomplemented form (a, b, etc.) can only be ORed. The complements of patterns (≠ a, ≠ b, etc.) can only be ANDed. For example, if the first OR field (gate) is changed to AND, all the patterns for that gate are complemented, as shown below.

Figure 5-50. Complemented Patterns

To specify a pattern to be used in the combination, touch the pattern recognizer field. The field toggles from Off to On and a connection is drawn from the pattern field to the gate. In figure 5-51, patterns b, c and d and the range are ORed together, and ≠ e and ≠ g are ANDed together.
